>How do they track credit-worthiness inside the EU? I thought Germany had something equivalent? It's funny that your parent says "I just prefer rule of law than these hacks on society", when Germany's credit check institution, Schufa, acts like that, not super different to China's social credit score he mentioned.
You can't get a rental in China with a bad credit score, and like that, good luck getting a landlord in Germany to lent you his property with a bad Schufa.
